Class Description
This class is designed to help writers engage in the creative process and begin writing a piece of nonfiction regarding the experience of motherhood. The class will focus on the mothering relationship as an integral part of the human experience, and a legitimate source and subject for writing. We will have the space and structure for you to explore your unique voice and perspective as well as gather tools for developing your writing further. Participants will find it helpful to have read in advance Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. The seminar will offer writing exercises, discussion, as well as a short, supportive workshop session that includes reading work aloud.
